The first buying question is not only about machine category. It is about the first batch you actually plan to make.
A compact galvo workflow can make sense when the early projects are small, repeatable, and desk-side: tags, cards, coasters, simple gift blanks, sample boards, or proof photos. A larger workbench tool may fit better when the planned work depends on bigger material handling or a different production environment.
AntBelt G1 is positioned for creators who want a compact engraving workflow, but the decision should still start with the object list. Write down the first five samples, the workspace limits, and the review photos you need.
That comparison is more useful than chasing a generic checklist. It keeps the launch-day decision tied to real projects.
